Hi,
Just got the iPad version of uplink, been looking forward to playing this again, played it on an off for years.
Anyway noticed something that might need a fix. When you hack a terminal the double box icon is not appearing to say it is now a hacked connection. I noticed it first when the test computer didn't change but it seems to be the same with other connections. It just makes it a bit hard to know which connections you have hacked to bounce through later.
I have tried two different user accounts and seems the same both times.

Hopefully this is the right place to post, can't seem to find much references to the iPad version yet.

Yeah, I've seen this too. Kind of jarring after being so used to it on PC!

Also, when trying to use the IP tools (lookup and probe), the keyboard pushes the screen up too high to see the list. Can make it hard to check an IP when looking at logs or the host list. This happens even if the keyboard is undocked - where it would be just becomes black space.

I'd like to see a transparent keyboard used instead, like the one in Jump (remote desktop viewing app).

Hi not seen these errors yet however I have a problem with save game corruption. I was so involved in playing that I failed to notice that my iPad was short on juice. Consequently the iPad powered itself down. After plugging in and reloading uplink I am unable to reload the game. I get the error message below (which is cut off at the end due to lack of space in the error window):

"Error
Failed to load user profile
The save file is not compatible
Save file is Version []
Required Version is between [Save56 ......"

The game always crashes back to home screen when trying to establish a connection to PDR-Net Developments Public Access Server or their bank.
It establishes connection and when trying to go to the About Us site in order to get a phone number it crashes.[/u]

Hi, I don't know if there has been a solution provided for the loading profile error that was described earlier. My iPads battery died while I was playing and when I tried to go back into the game and load up my profile it gives me the following error:

"Error
Failed to load user profile
The save file is not compatible
Save file is Version []
Required Version is between [Save56 ......"

please can some one tell me if there is a way of fixing this, I was very far in the game and truely do not wish to restart from scratch.

Hey, I'm working on trying to track this bug down and fix it, but haven't been able to run into it during my testing. Has this happened to anyone else, and @toerti has this happened for you only during that save file or have you run into it across multiple saves? If you have any other details that might help let me know.

I am also now experiencing this bug on the iPad! It's really a show-stopper.

I'm in the middle of a "trace the hacker" mission. Trying to access "Resonate Microsystems Public Access Server". The app crashes either right when I press the "OK" button to view the About Us screen, OR, a split second later. So I believe the admin's name of this server is "Andrew Drummer", but it disappears too quickly to be able to grab the phone number.

I realize the names are randomized in the game, but I'm including them for troubleshooting purposes (like if one of these randomized names has too many characters, and is thereby causing the crash).

I can log into other servers fine, and complete other missions. But the crash happens on this one server, over and over again.
